    That makes no sense to them. They want all the malls and gallerias.

    don't mind that so long as we make a way for everyone to get where they need to be.

    West Coast Including Vegas is Part 1, obviously liberal land; central continent from the Montanans to the Mississippi River can be Red State America, lots of wide open spaces for right wingers to move to, and East of the River for the non-racists and non Pharisees. A lot of folks in the Old South would need to move, maybe some sort of property swap with sane folks currently in TX, CO, NM and so forth.

    Go ahead and get on that.

    Since the blue states are, on average, both economically outperforming and heavily subsidizing the red states, I doubt this plan would turn out quite the way M.Bison imagines.

    Of course, if we really want to see hilarity, let's give the people who actually like Trump -- as opposed to the Republicans who are just holding their noses while they vote for him -- their own country and see how quickly a bunch of paranoid xenophobes, kneejerk nativists, and alt-right misogynists can self-destruct.

    other than humoring the moron, no, it won't, if for no other reason than the impossibility of sorting folks out (hell, there's strong disagreements within the same family in many cases)

    The Blue states are "subsidizing" the red states because red states build all the weapons. That will come in handy later.

    The problem with that idea is that you really, really don't want to share a border with that country. That's essentially why the North bothered fighting the Civil War in the first place.

    The North fought a war of Republicans against Democrats. Northern Democrats opposed Lincoln like he was Satan, and then later Northern demographics changed to include more blatant racists, which swung them over to Democrats. That kept the Democrats in power for decades, but then the old line Republicans forced changes by sending poll watchers, but most importantly engineers into Democrat territory. It took forever but by the mid 2000's the South was finally in Republican hands. Unfortunately the lost most of the North in the process due to new waves of immigrants who hated blacks, gypsies, and Jews. You won't find Jewish barbecue up north, but you will find it all through the South.

    Good Idea. While you pile into the red states and create the new land of Fredonia, the blue states can turn off that Federal spigot of welfare that goes to you, and my taxes will be lower, my services will be better, the GDP will skyrocket, and we can watch as you all devolve into cannibalism.

    I'm pretty sure cannibalism would be a step forward for them, not a sign of devolving.

    You cucks would have your own nation country. If you want open borders + welfare, you'll have no opposition. You can go full Venezuela for all we care.

    Prediction: Hillary wins pretty solidly, basically a rerun of 2012. GOP retains House and Senate.

    How many electoral votes will each presidential candidate receive? 307 Clinton 231 Trump
    How many seats will each party control in the Senate? 51R-49D(ish)
    How many seats will each party control in the House? 224R-211D (assuming Pelosi wins or Picus caucuses with the Democrats, both of which are likely, but not at all certain (though I'm sure he wouldn't caucus with the GOP).
    Tiebreaker: What percentage of the popular vote will Evan McMullin win in Utah? 28%

    Got some news for ya, Slappy: the red states are the biggest welfare queens in the nation. You're not earners, you're takers. Of blue state handouts. Essentially New York and California are all that keep you from having an economy worse then Rwanda.

    So, take an overdose of hillbilly heroin (oxy), roll that info into a blunt, light it, and shove it up your precious little starfish.

    What retards like him don't get is that we are pretty much purple, rather than totally red or totally blue. He represents the same sort of thought process that leads to ethnic cleansing.

    As a Clinton victory is looking inevitable, stock markets broadly surged today, with all major American indices up over 2%.

    I considered making a bonus prediction that a Trump victory would mean a DJIA under 10,000 by New Year's Day. In fact, I guess I'll still make that prediction, but there's fortunately almost no chance that the prediction will be meaningfully tested.

    Rats. I was prepared to make some purchases when stocks went on sale. That would be the only silver lining of a Trump victory (for me).

    Yes, Connecticut was a major gun manufacturing center until Sandy Hook happened and they ran them off to gun friendly states.

    Now most AR-15 and .308 manufacturers are in red states. Connecticut is down to 3, on par with Wyoming and lagging Montana. Florida has 25, Arizona has 24, Georgia has 15, North Carolina has 14, Texas has 18.

    Of course the stock market will surge with the likelihood of continued Clinton corruption, where insider trading is the norm and the huge banks are free to police themselves.

    Also noteworthy, the Mexican peso is surging. Trump is toast.

    Well, it could be worth noting that stock in the Las Vegas Sands corporation, Sheldon Adelson's outfit, did not join in the surge today, and in fact is down about 2% since this morning in after-hours trading. You might see some sale prices in companies closely associated with Trump or Trump cronies, albeit with the caveat that they're associated with Trump or Trump cronies.
